Pope Francis proclaims Mother Teresa a saint

Mother Teresa has been proclaimed a saint by Pope Francis in front of 100,000 Catholics this morning.
Mother Teresa, the tiny nun who cared for the world's most unwanted and became an icon of the Catholic Church, was canonised at a ceremony in St Peter's Square.
Two supposedly miraculous cures have been attributed to Mother Teresa by the Vatican, paving the way for her sainthood.
Pope Francis presided over the morning Mass and called on the 100,000 pilgrims and tourists gathered in the square to 'carry her smile in our hearts'.

Everyone needs a saint? Right?

Or is she part of the Western agenda?

'The rich world has a poor conscience. It wants, in fact, it needs, to think that someone, somewhere, is doing something about the third world. And the Mother Teresa myth ministers to this desire.'
Christopher Hitchens.
